Critical df Watershed plan (Continued from page 1) authority présentations other than philosophy which has existed lor years. "What is the Authority prepared to do," he said. He spoke of recommendations recommendations in a 1966 report as to headwater proposals both in the Wilmot and the Graham Creek in the Town 'of Newcastle. These recommendations recommendations appear nowhere in the Watershed Plan nor do we find anything from a 1977 provincial report on the area. Forrester said he failed to see any initiatives outlined in the plan and pointed out that some five years ago the Town of Newcasle had given their approval for Fill and Construction Construction regulations in the Town as did the local M.P.P. Sam Cureatz. These regulations, regulations, the responsibility of the Authority, still sit on à shelf somewhere. He also recalled that a watershed plan was undertaken by the Authority for the Wiimot Creek five or six years ago and for, a period of two summers collected data for such a plan. Where is such a plan, I can only assume it is collecting dust on a shelf. He said there appeared to him to be a lack of initiative in completing a number of projects which were to be undertaken in the Town of Newcastle. Forrester suggested the Town withhold their approval approval until such time, as the Authority provides specifics in their watershed plan and especially in those things related to conservation in the Town of Newcastle. He pointed out that the AMO, an association of Ontario Ontario municipalities, of which the Town of Newcastle was a member, has voiced some legitimate concerns as to conservation conservation Authorities and that they now, had the opportunity opportunity to present their views' individually to Authorities in their own areas through the Watershed Plan. On motion of Counc. Hamre the delegation was acknowledged and comments be referred to the staff report and further that the delegation delegation be referred to the Authority Watershed, committee committee and the full Authority. On an amendment by Counc. Cowman staff are to consider the request in withholding approval approval of the watershed plan. ., ■ ' T.y, ;. y V Rally in Oshawa against pornography A rally will be held at Civic Council voted to endorse the Square, Oshawa City Hall at resolution but lacking suffi- 12 noon on Monday, May 16 cient support, it was to protest City Council's defeated, failure to take action against pornography in (he city. ■ Women of the city are op- Os'hawa City Council has ' .posed to pornography such as twice refused to endorse Playboy programming which resolutions to write to the advocates women as objects CRTC to demand they and promotes a power im- revoke First Choice Pay-TV's balance of men dominating licence if they continue to women, humiliating women carry Playboy programmes. through abusive actions and- The first was from the jokes.'This negative attitude, Borough of York and was fil- say-the women of the Oshaw- ed by Oshawa City Council Durham Rape Crisis Centre, without discussion.

Crombie, a former Mayor of Toronto is confident of a win in the leadership race and states he has the ability to unite the party and win the next federal election. He said the Canadian economy must be rejuvenated rejuvenated and that growth was a necessity. He spoke of thè waste of money at the federal level of government and referred to the annual horror stories in spending. He pointed out that the solicitor-general does make specific recommendations to provide controls in government government spending and that these recommendations must be considered and implemented if control is to be exercised. He gave partial support for Crdwn Corporations in certain certain areas but stated that in other cases a review was certainly certainly needed. He said all Crown Corporations should have to report to a Committee Committee of the House. In rejuvenating the economy he stated Canada would have to attract 'world- calls' investments, 'world- class' technology and 'world- class' skills. He stated Japan and Germany had engaged in implementing technology and as a result had thé lowest unemployment rate of the industrialized industrialized countries. Crombie stated the world is changing and that increasingly increasingly markets arc becoming i world markets and we must make changes to compete in this new field. In speaking of the Cruise missile he said Canada had to support the U.S. in this rftat- ter as Canada has been and is a member of NATO. In speaking on unity within the country he stated that much could be done through a reform of the senate and that as Prime Minister it would be one of his first duties. Crombie stated he has had a tremendous lift in the past two weeks as he travels across the country with apparent delegate support from all areas. He said he was confident confident he could take the leadership leadership this June in Ottawa. Real Estate Is Selling! REALTOR LET ME SELL YOUR PROPERTY!
